Wang Ying came to Yama Mountain in advance according to the previous agreement, and Zhou Weihan gathered everyone together.
Members of the Tainan Military Region Party Committee: Detachment Captain Zhou Weihan, Political Commissar Zhao Gang, Chief of Staff Xing Zhiguo, Director of the Political Department Li Yunshan, and Chief of the Staff Division Zhou Weiguo.
Wang Ying, director of Tainan District Government.
Today, the Tainan Military Region’s top management is basically full, but it still lacks deputies, and there are also shortages of subordinate cadres such as the Political Department and the General Staff Office.
Everyone sat down, and Zhou Weihan first introduced Zhou Weiguo to Wang Ying.
"Old Wang, this is Comrade Zhou Weiguo, who is now the director of the staff office of the military region!"
"Comrade Wei Guo, this is Comrade Wang Ying from the regional government, the regional director!"
The two shook hands with each other, and Wang Ying said with emotion: "The leading cadres in the army are really young. Among the five of them, you, Lao Zhou, Lao Zhao, and Wei Guo are all under thirty years old!"
"Let me tell you, not only are we young, we are also intellectuals. Lao Zhao and I graduated from Yan University, Wei Guo graduated from Huangpu, and later went to the German Military Academy for further studies!" Zhou Weihan said with a slight embarrassment.
"My dear, it's really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon here. I said there's no one in the district government, and all the co-authors have come to you!"
Wang Ying then looked at Zhou Weiguo, openly poaching in front of Zhou Weihan: "Comrade Weiguo, are you interested in working in the district government? We still lack a decent military cadre. As long as you come, all the soldiers will be yours."
command!"
Zhou Weiguo smiled. He was stunned again. There was a huge difference between the main force and the local armed forces under the regional government.
Although he is now the Chief of Staff, once there is a battle, it is very likely that he will lead a unit to command the battle alone.
"Yes, yes, I came to you for business. Tomorrow is the first collective meeting between the army and the local government in our Tainan base area. We will discuss the contents to be mentioned in the meeting with several people from the county!" Zhou Weihan stopped with one sentence.
To Wang Ying.
Zhou Weihan and Wang Ying each explained their respective military and local affairs, and everyone present discussed them carefully and made changes.
.......
"The base area has been expanded, and the land reform has been completed. The next development focus of the base area will be economic construction! The superiors sent three comrades over, all of whom are good at economics! They have already done a simple survey in the base area a few days ago.
one time!"
"Monk, call Hu Jingyun and the others over here!"
Not long after Hu Jingyun and the others arrived, Zhou Weihan didn't write much and directly asked them to share their suggestions for the economic development of the base area.
"Brother, we have been around the base area in the past few days, and we found that the Tainan base area is different from other base areas!" Hu Jingyun said.
"Oh, what's the difference?" Wang Ying asked with interest.
"Take the area near Yamawang Mountain as an example. There are no Japanese strongholds near the mountainous area and within thirty to forty miles outside. However, there are Japanese strongholds in the outer base areas. At the time, I didn't understand why this could be considered a base area!"
"Later, Comrade Abacus explained that in some places, the Japanese army had built strongholds on the surface, but the Japanese and puppet troops in the strongholds only moved around the strongholds and did not go to the countryside to raid. There were even only puppet strongholds. They secretly obeyed the leadership of our Eighth Route Army.
!”
"Just in this regard, it is very different from other base areas!"
The situation Hu Jingyun mentioned only existed in the two counties of Wuyi and Wu'an, such as Cixi, Lidongnan, and Ludongnan. All strongholds in the base areas were uprooted.
The reason for doing this is to give Isamu Terauchi some face and maintain public order on the surface.
Wuyi cannot always have good public security. Most areas in Wu'an and Wu'an counties are not under the control of the Japanese army.
In fact, what Temple Yong can control is only the strongholds near the two county towns, the Handan-Changchun Highway, and the road leading to the county town.
"Our Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines are in a guerrilla warfare environment that is divided and blockaded by the Japanese army. The economy of the base areas is basically a semi-natural economy that combines decentralized agriculture and small handicrafts. The people in the base areas have to bear the consumption of the war and the enemy's constant raids.
The agriculture and handicraft industries in the base area have been deeply affected. At this point, our Tainan base area is truly blessed to have such a stable environment!" Hu Jingyun said excitedly.
"According to what Comrade Abacus said, the army is currently developing good side businesses. There are farms on the mountains, vegetable fields, chicken farms, pig farms, and soap-making workshops, which currently meet the daily needs of the army.
, the four regiments in Ci County are in charge of three coal mines!"
"At the local level, the army cooperated with large local households to dump cloth, fur, herbs, shochu and other materials outwards, and at the same time purchased salt, matches, poultry, and oil from other places. Thanks to this work, Wuyi and Wu'an's
The economy has already begun to develop, and many villages have their own small workshops."
"However, the current management is relatively chaotic, and there is no tax policy in the base area, and no border currency has been issued!" Hu Jingyun finally said.
Zhou Weihan and others looked at each other and realized that what Hu Jingyun said was indeed the truth.
It's not that the base areas don't want to collect taxes, but that during the establishment of the base areas, the previous focus of work was on military construction and grassroots political power building, and there was no time to implement tax policies.
The supply problem of the army is that on the one hand, the troops seize and confiscate the property of the bully squires and traitors, while at the same time they engage in production and sideline businesses.
On the other hand, it relies on raising money for food baskets locally, with those with money providing money and those with food providing food to ensure the supply of the army.
From 1937 to 1940, during this period, the base areas were being formed and everything was being created.
The anti-Japanese regimes in various places are not yet unified, and there is no set of fiscal policies and methods suitable for the specific conditions of the base areas behind enemy lines.
With the Eighth Route Army rapidly growing, military supplies were in urgent need.
Therefore, raising money for food cages on the spot came into being.
"The top priority is to develop agriculture and handicrafts, and at the same time implement reasonable tax policies and issue currency. However, due to the availability of chemical fertilizers in the base area and the completion of land reform, the agricultural development situation is very good!" Lin Zhen, who has been silent, said.
"Taxation is the most important thing to do. The implementation of "rich household donations" will overburden the landlords and rich peasants, which is not conducive to the consolidation and development of the rural united front. The middle peasants and lower classes are affected by this and are unwilling to rise economically, which hinders production.
development of."
"Even the anti-Japanese comrades who are willing to support our Eighth Route Army will not always be willing to provide money and food. However, some ordinary people from ordinary families actually have spare capacity and have been raising money for food and supplies on the spot. There is no way to improve the financial resources and materials in the base area.
